61. Wanda almost turned evil
61. Wanda almost turned evil
With the nourishment of three meals a day and regular baths, Wanda and Pietro look like they've regained some of their health.
At first, they felt it was extremely luxurious to be able to eat three meals a day, as if they were being treated specially.
Later, after Audrey's explanation, they learned that what the base had been distributing was actually the amount of three meals a day, only the portions were slightly larger.
Refugees are used to eating one or two meals a day and staying in shelters for safety, so they usually only come to collect supplies every few days.
The refugees living in the base all maintained three meals a day and called Ji Yuan a great benefactor.
However, the base doesn't accept just anyone. According to Audrey, it only accepts the elderly, the infirm, the disabled, children, and homeless people who have no relatives or friends to rely on.
After a period of stable distribution of supplies, the refugees learned about the strength of this base and flocked to the vicinity of the base in search of safe shelter, where they were able to enjoy two meals a day.
When ample food is exposed in the wild, it attracts packs of hyenas.
After completing another day of distributing supplies, Pietro stretched. Since he was able to eat three meals a day, his physical strength and energy had greatly improved.
After dinner, Pietro and Wanda sat down next to Ji Yuan, ready to watch a video on their phone, which was their favorite thing to do lately.
After spending time together, they also became familiar with Ji Yuan.
Being next to this doctor who loves reading always brings a sense of peace and tranquility.
The sound of the film echoed in the evening sunset.
Pietro suddenly asked, "Mr. Ji Yuan, Ms. Audrey has always said you're a doctor, so what kind of doctor are you exactly?"
It's no wonder he has this problem; Ji Yuan is nothing like a doctor. He's either dealing with supplies or reading books. What's even stranger is that he not only can't understand the words in the books, but he also feels sleepy as soon as he looks at them.
Ji Yuan gently closed the heavy Book of Vishanti in his hand and said softly, "I am a psychologist, a very skilled one. I can read minds and can help people with psychological problems solve their problems."
Wanda looked over curiously.
Pietro, however, pursed his lips, looking incredulous: "Then tell me what I'm thinking."
"You're thinking that you must protect your sister Wanda, even if it costs you your life," Ji Yuan said gently.
Pietro blushed and said haughtily, "That's not true, Mr. Ji Yuan. What you said is completely inaccurate. Wanda, don't listen to him."
Wanda rolled her eyes at Pietro, ignoring him, and said with some anticipation, "Mr. Ji Yuan, can you help me? I've been having nightmares lately."
"What!" Before Ji Yuan could answer, Pietro exclaimed anxiously, "Wanda, you're having another nightmare? Didn't you stop before?"
Wanda nodded helplessly, a hint of weariness in her eyes. She said, "I don't know why, but I've started having nightmares again recently. Ms. Audrey said I have a psychological problem and suggested I try asking Mr. Ji Yuan, but I don't think there's anything wrong with my psychology."
Ji Yuan sensed Wanda's dark erosion and found that it was about fifty percent remaining. This progress seemed to have triggered some kind of mechanism left by Sithon, and the dark power seemed to be consciously contracting.
It went straight to Wanda's heart, rooted in Wanda's painful past experiences and endless longing for her family, so she didn't think she had any psychological problems.
If it were anyone else with this problem, Ji Yuan could easily solve it, but it's not so easy for Wanda, since the darkness is still attached to the chaos magic.
Although the current chaos magic is not fully awakened and its scale is not high, its essence is too high. The three primordial forces of the universe are not so easy to deal with.
The current approach is to help Wanda step out of her past trauma and see the hatred in her heart clearly, so that she can be completely purified.
So Ji Yuan said softly, "Wanda, it's hard to have an absolute standard for defining right and wrong. You need to see the real world. What you've seen and heard before isn't necessarily the absolute truth."
After saying that, he took out two phones and handed them to Wanda and Pietro: "You can find out anything you want from these. Just call Jarvis."
In the internet age, the best way to see the world without leaving home is by going online.
With Jarvis's intelligent system, they won't see anything unreal or inappropriate. It even has an anti-addiction system to prevent them from becoming internet addicts.
Wanda and Pietro's poor judgment was largely due to their lack of information and Hydra's deliberate manipulation of public opinion; they were used as tools.
It must be said that Wanda and Pietro are both very smart. After Ji Yuan gave them a few pointers, they were able to use smartphones proficiently.
The first thing Wanda did after learning to use a smartphone was to look up the word etched deep in her soul—Stark.
Soon, messages appeared on the screen.
When Wanda saw the owner of Stark Industries being kidnapped, she couldn't help but show a hint of pleasure. But when she saw the news of his rescue, that pleasure immediately turned into displeasure.
As Wanda read on, she became increasingly skeptical of what she had seen and heard.
"Tony Stark announced the permanent closure of the weapons manufacturing division."
"Stark Industries develops disaster relief technologies, including deployable emergency shelters and medical drones."
"Establish a foundation to fund young scientists and cutting-edge scientific research."
"Establish an education foundation."
"Establish a disaster relief foundation."
"Tony Stark is a hero of the world for creating anti-vampire robots to wipe out vampires."
……
These messages undoubtedly dealt a severe blow to Wanda's worldview.
In her memory, Stark Industries had always been the villain, and was even involved in protests against Stark organized by the Sokovian government.
Stark has always been labeled a warmonger, schemer, ruthless capitalist, playboy, and so on, but his good deeds have never been mentioned.
Wanda turned her head with a look of surprise and doubt and said, "Mr. Ji Yuan... is everything written here true?"
Her voice trembled slightly, as if she was unwilling to accept the truth.
Sensing Wanda's unstable emotional fluctuations, Ji Yuan nodded and said, "This is all absolutely true."
"Sokovia has been embroiled in war for too long. The lack of information has made the people a tool for ambitious individuals to manipulate public opinion. If you don't believe me, I can take you out to see for yourself sometime."
Wanda nodded mechanically. Deep down, she already believed most of it, but she couldn't accept it. Instead, she felt even more sad and angry, and her shadow twisted wildly in the moonlight.
Why should their parents, who died from bombs made by Stark Industries, be able to wash away their sins simply by doing good deeds?
Sensing the pulsating crimson aura beside him, Ji Yuan's heart skipped a beat:
"Why the sudden shift to the dark side?"
A gentle ray of light shone down on Wanda along with the moonlight, and she quickly calmed down.
"call--"
Ji Yuan let out a breath and was about to offer some words of comfort.
boom!
A sudden gunshot rang out from outside the ruins.
He frowned slightly: "The hyenas are here."
